Hello everybody in the vintage scene! Im using Karolinas platform for my own benefit, sorry:D In the beginning of September 8-9, in England there is a big WWI happening at the Highclere Castle, which is the estate where they film Downtown Abbey. Im travelling there from Finland and plan to spend a few days in London and see exhibitions about fashion history. I was wondering if anyone else is planning to attend the event or in London at that time and would like to meet up because I'm travelling alone and would like to meet other vintage interested people!

@@copperrose4376 hello, classical time period and over all Ancient Greek nerd here, I might be able to help, take note that I’m no scholar, but I have some knowledge to offer So as for fashion history, there’s actually not that much of a huge deal around it as is in the eras Karolina likes, but it still existed. The main way we can find clothes and styles is through artwork, mostly in pottery and statues. Fashion for the rich aristocrats definitely existed, but I’d say clothes were way more functional back in that day and age. The only extravagant details are normally in rich ladies clothes, and they are normally just colors accessories and expensive jewelry. But! The average person (starting with girls cuz It’s just easier for me) would be wearing a dress called a chiton or a Peplos. They are surprisingly easy to make with just a large sheet of fabric and a few pins at the shoulders (I may or may not own a few diy ones myself...) so the Chiron was just your basic dress, but it could be paired with shawls and capes. As for men, I’m not that educated but I do know they wore shirt like shorter dresses with either nothing or a large draped cape over one shoulder.(typically old men preferred this style lol)Some guys also wore a draped skirt almost? Don’t know the word but it basically just looked like a skirt. But yeah I could go on, but my suggestion is weirdly enough, look on Pinterest. What I like to find is pictures (drawings) of the clothes with dates and how to make them, and sometimes you can click the link to find where the pictures came from, some websites are really informative. Anyway, I wish you luck on your journey! I too once had this fascination so I totally get it! Btw, song of Achilles is a great book good choice lol, if you like the author I recommend her other book Circe.

I also love the 1600s, not sure why but I do. I like the weirdo posing gowns seen in Lely portraits...which, nobody really ever wore lol. Glamour shots of the 1600s.

I wish I could wear beautiful clothes from the 50's or Victorian era... But not only I'm broke, I'm also from Brazil so if I ever dress more than 2 layers of clothing I would probably die a painful death... Wait, is it *really* a bad idea? 👀 At least it would be a elegant death

Carol BRRJ I went to a steampunk/Victorian costuming QnA session and their advice for Victorian fashion in hot weather was to use light fabrics and skip the corset. The skirts aren't as hot as they look because depending on the decade you had a crinoline or a bustle holding the fabric away from your legs and allowing air flow. I also take a hand fan everywhere I go. The cheapest way to get historical fashion is to learn to sew, unfortunately (I hate sewing 😂). If you can find/make affordable fifties fashion, I say go for it because the skirts are great for keeping your legs cool.

The heat really isn't as bad as you might expect. I do American Civil War reenacting, while our hottest event may not be quite as hot and humid as Brazil but it can get pretty miserable, one day at Gettysburg this year was about 95 F with like 80% humidity. But the biggest thing is wearing only natural fibers, cotton, silk, wool, they wick the sweat away and help keep you cool. The crinoline keeps the skirt off of your legs so you get a breeze. Wearing a chemise , corset, drawers , knee high stockings, crinoline, petticoat, dress and leather boots I wasn't anymore uncomfortable that I would have been wearing a polyester shirt and jean shorts. But it is expensive, and I'm a grad student so I have to space out my purchases, because I can't sew...at all. There are also the option for sheer dresses in the summer and they are super light weight. I wouldn't recommend skipping the corset though. It's what gives the silhouette that is so important to a good Victorian impression.

Didn’t frizzy banks become fashionable because they burned their hair with newly invented curling iron‘s. So then they were like ‘yeah well make this a thing.’

I love 1890's/Edwardian fashion- from the shirtwaist/skirt combo- so classic and academic looking, to the boater hats and the incredible 1890's women's capes and coats. I also love Early 1910's evening gowns (like Rose from Titanic and S1 Downton Abbey) and 1930s evening gowns (which look like liquid silver poured over the body)- both absolutely stunning. I have a special love for 1660's dresses which I first saw and fell in love with when I watched The Man in the Iron Mask as a child! Honourable mentions to 1760s/70s (18th century perfection) and 1800/1810s (because Jane Austen).

I live in Florida and have been to several American civil war reenactments as a kid and ever since I was younger I've always been obsessed with civil war era dresses, so 1860's is one of my all time favorite era's.

I totally agree with you about how fashion kind of went meh at around 1790's late Georgian to Regency dresses, I love the 1770's - 80's like Elizabeth Poldark's costumes in the first 3 seasons. I just love how the waist is at the most flattering length, the just below the elbow sleeves with small ruffles, not too big like they were earlier in the century. And of course the gorgeous hats!

I love 50s fashion!! It's honestly easier than I thought it was going to be. I watched one of your videos about the era and I'm going to the military ball in an outfit I've put together for that particular era. Being Ftm transgender, I'll probably turn heads (since no one has ever seen me in a dress) but I'm really excited to debut my first 50s outfit to the world! I tried to make sure everything is accurate (I have an amateur fashion historian much closer to me who gives me one-on-one help, but they were inspired by you hehehe) and I'm really excited for my dress to finally come in!! (Sorry for the format, I'm on my phone lol)

The channel The Ultimate Fashion History is an incredible reference for basically any period. The videos are actually lessons taught at a fashion institute by a legit professor. Plus it’s just super entertaining and fun to watch.

So, your favorite era is???? I couldn't pick either. I am so amazed at the fabrics of all of the eras. I love to walk through fabric stores and just soak up the colors and textures.

My personal favorite fashion period is from mid 1820 - late 1830. Generaly, everything connected with biedermeier: fashion, interiors, furniture, paintings etc. I'm a huge fan of the so called gigot sleeves, but only in biedermeier interpretation and context.

Finally a viiiid. Love u, kisses from Latvia!

I love the tailoring in English 1840s fashion-especially on the necklines. I think it creates such interesting details. But I'm also a fan of large sleeves. I think they're so absurd that I have to enjoy them. Pagoda sleeves are just fun to me.

By the "pre-Polish" you mean from the Partitions period (1795-1918), right? Independent Poland was off the map for 123 years but it actually goes back to the 10th century before that, so the actual "pre-Polish" stuff would be some early Medieval, old Slavic clothes. 😉 BTW even during the Partitions Poland was technically not completely gone for all that time because there was briefly the Douchy of Warsaw (Napoleon's client Polish state) and then the Kingdom of Poland as a part of the Russian Empire, that for about 15 years had some actual large autonomy. It's complicated. Other than that I completely agree!

1790s were a transition period. I love and obsessed with the 1790s.that transition period was very creative and fascinating

Listening to this closely I noted that the USA version of some of these eras leaned toward poverty including the puritans and the pioneer look. A Quaker-ish “plain” look with sturdy colors and soil defying fabrics. Thank you!

I don't understand how Karoliina's videos can get any dislikes. What a cruel world we live in...

I love to follow historic fashion museum blogs on tumblr and guess which year the dress or outfit is from based on its idiosyncrasies. I find the 1830s to be so hilariously opposite to the 1810s and that's why I like that decade. My favorite decades and years would be (from English fashion) the era surrounding the War of the Roses in the 1400s (simplistic yet comical, and the cone hats!), the early part of 1790s (so flowy and drapey compared to the cinched waists, and that poodle hair), the regency era for its softness, the 1850s for the fabric patterns (soooo much plaid and stripes), the 1880s and 1890s (the big sleeves and the drop waist, influenced by my love for Anne of Green Gables), in the 1900s I love the big hats, but the long, high waisted skirts during the mid to late 1910s are a favorite feature for me. I also find the 1920s and 1930s high fashion to be interesting compared to the state of poverty a lot of the world was thrown into due to WW1. But my all time favorite decade would be the 1940s for the earthy tones and masculine influenced women's dress suits compared to the beautiful dresses, hair, and makeup.
